Thanksgiving Toddler Crafts

Saturday's in my house are craft days for my daughter and me.  Just about every Saturday morning, my daughter wakes up asking me to paint :)  Most of the time that is what we do.  We paint on paper plates, on construction paper, on bulletin board cutouts.  Sometimes, we glue googly eyes or pom-poms on our paintings as well.

I thought with Thanksgiving coming up, I would try and find some crafts that we could do that were related to Thanksgiving.  Below is our first craft for the month - a toilet paper tube turkey.

For the feathers, I traced her hands, cut them out, and glued them on the back.  She glued her favorite googly eyes on the front and I add a little beak with a marker and cut out a little wattle from some red construction paper.

Pinterest is full of great, fun Thanksgiving crafts.  Here are some other ones that I hope to try this month:

• Candy Corn Turkey - Trace your child's hand to make a turkey.  Glue candy corn in the fingers of the hand to form the feathers.
• Turkey Puppets - Make turkey puppets out of brown paper lunch bags.
• Fall Tree - Use wine corks as stamps to create a beautiful fall tree.
• Turkey Coloring Page 

What do you and your toddler do in the spirit of Thanksgiving?
